My 13 yr old bitch had always had an inverted nipple. It's never been a problem. Recently she's been scratching at it. The fur around it has gone and it looks like it's closing over, when she was feeding the pups years ago I used to be able to pop it out to clean it but that wouldn't be possible now. I think it neeeds a clean though as it looks a little sore. What should I do?
